January 2011

Hmmm. 2011. I really hope that this will be a life changing year. I am determined to make something happen this year.

Looking back at 2010; let's examine what I wanted to get done.

1. Lose Weight - Did not really happen. But I did not gain any weight...That's a plus.
2. Learn French - Did not happen.
3. De-Junk house - Started....Sold some stuff at the toy show and donated bags of stuff to Goodwill. Need to purge more.
4. Drink more wine - Success!! I feel like I really drank a significant amount of wine. We bought lots of wine this year too. Multiple trips up North helped with this.

Looking back at the calender some noteworthy things that happened.
-The saddest thing of the year was Murdock passing. I miss him so very much. Every day. That cat changed my life. And Matt's view on cats too. :) But his passing brought me to volunteering at Crash's Landing. I love my time at the shelter and the great people I have met there. I look forward to my Wednesday nights at Crash's.

-I made some fun cakes/cupcakes. Mia's Hello Kitty Birthday Cake, the engagement cake, Kermit the Frog Birthday cake, Hello Kitty cupcakes, 80'th Birthday cake for my grandfather, and a Hello Kitty Princess cake. See pics on Facebook.

-All our mini vacations. Chicago, Traverse City, Mackinaw Island, Woodstock for Ted's wedding, Ludington, and where ever else we went.

-I have discovered a great love for Groupon and Groupon like websites. LOVE!

Looking forward. Lets try the three things I have been meaning to do for years; plus a extra one.

1. Lose Weight. - I have a treadmill....Why don't I use it more???
2. Learn French. - I have uploaded the language software onto my new laptop. This will make it so much easier to excess and should help me get this done.
3. De-Junk House. - I have too much stuff. Anybody want some??
4. Learn to play Guitar. - I have been taking some lessons and I am enjoying it. Now I just need to keep it up.

Wish me luck!
